Red Thread

Red Thread Circles and other Creative Possibilities

The ancient legend of the Red Thread suggest that if we are meant to meet, we are connected by a Red Thread. That thread may tangle and stretch but it will not break. Over time the thread shortens until we finally meet! Once connected to that quantum thread all we have to do is tug for love and support of our sisters on the thread! Tug on the Red Thread and invite me to your circle to bring a wonderful creative interlude to your tribe! When we gather in community magic can happen! I have created a mobile studio and am traveling North America to bring Red Thread creativity and blessings to you! Contact me for more information on how we can meet in person!

More About Cosmic SmashBook Journals!

If you don't yet have your SmashBook
begin a new adventure by creating your own
Cosmic SmashBook Journal.
This will be your container for inquiry, healing, self discovery, and manifesting your intentions. You will be guided as you create a hardcover visual journal infused with the energy of your intentions, curiosity, hopes & dreams.

This is a time to get in touch with your Authentic Voice and start to Access your Inner Healer with this playful and delightful class!
Sessions scheduled with your Tribe!

These magical journals are inspired by the creator of Cosmic Smash Books, Catt Gellar.
** What is a Smash Book? Similar to an art journal, it’s about creating a connection, connecting with your inner guidance. You will listen and create from the space within that knows your truest hopes and dreams for yourself. Because of the SMASHING aspect… you may meet up with the perfectionist self. who gives way to the creative, wild inventive self!! Woot woot!!
* Disclaimer: no art or craft experience necessary!!
Ask when you come to the SmashBook Sunday Event! You can construct a new one at any time!
